Brown is an immigrant from the West African nation of Ghana and a graduate of the University of Maryland, where she completed the Jimenez-Porter Writers’ House program. I would recommend this to fans of YA fantasy. I really enjoyed this book and series, and am surprised that it has not received more attention.
And there’s also more expansive world building, which also keeps things interesting. The character-over-plot focus does lead to the pacing being a bit uneven, but the engaging moments far outweigh the moments where the story tends to sag.
As for Malik, I loved the exploration of his mental health issues and his path to healing. Karina is such a strong heroine, without it being a cliche. But both are great characters, so I didn’t mind so much, even if the interactions between them did feel very hot-and-cold. This one definitely feels a bit more character driven than the first one, and it has a lot to do with Malik and Karina individually, more than together. And I liked the way it provides backstory and breadcrumbs for Malik and Karina’s story. I like the somewhat self aware, evocative framing narrative, and I love the storyteller/folklore vibes. Brown has created, especially with the immersive writing. I easily became sucked back into the world Roseanne A. And when the fate of everything hangs on a single, horrifying choice, they each must decide what they value most-a power that could transform the world, or a love that could transform their lives.Ī Psalm of Storms and Silence is a great follow up to A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, and a great conclusion to the duology. But how do you regain the trust of someone you once tried to kill?Īs the fabric holding Sonande together begins to tear, Malik and Karina once again find themselves torn between their duties and their desires. When they discover that Karina herself is the key to restoring balance, Malik must use his magic to lure her back to their side.
Meanwhile, the resurrection of Karina’s sister has spiraled the world into chaos, with disaster after disaster threatening the hard-won peace Malik has found as Farid’s apprentice. Now the most wanted person in Sonande, her only hope of reclaiming what is rightfully hers lies in a divine power hidden in the long-lost city of her ancestors. Karina lost everything after a violent coup left her without her kingdom or her throne. Perfect for fans of Tomi Adeyemi, Renée Ahdieh, and Sabaa Tahir.
The highly anticipated second-and final-book in the immersive fantasy duology inspired by West African folklore that began with the New York Times bestselling A Song of Wraiths and Ruin, from author Roseanne A.
